I always try to be great at whatever I find myself doing regardless of how small it may be. I never settle for less and I never will. I plan to, with the help of God, get my bachelors degree after graduating from VU with my associates degree.

My name is Tenny Fatoke. I was born in Nigeria. I moved to the United States in 2017 for greater opportunities. I am a Public Relations major. I have been selected to serve as a Public Relations intern in the External Relations department at Vincennes University. This internship gives me hands-on experience and prepares me for the field of public relations.

My duties include taking pictures, noteworthy news reporting, faculty interviews, and spotlighting VU students with interesting stories. I am the Vice President of the College Activities Board, and Student Ambassador, and I am currently serving diligently at the Knowledge Market as a tutor.

When I’m back home in Indianapolis, I volunteer at my local church, Lakeview Church, in the Children's Ministry. I always try to be great at whatever I find myself doing regardless of how small it may be. I never settle for less and I never will. I plan to, with the help of God, get my bachelors degree after graduating from VU with my associates degree.
